Ya, The mom is taking it fairly lightly.
The child is definitely having a tantrum over not getting what she wants. But because of the edit, there is no proof that the tantrum caused the mom to give-in and turn on the music.

Yes, the child is having a meltdown - the best way to cure that is lighthearted ignore. Wait until the child wears herself out and can compose herself and ask nicely. Then let her know that because of the tantrum, this time, there will be no Britney but next time when she asks nice again, she can listen to Britney. That's what I do with my kids, (which usually ends with them starting to cry all over again, but you can't reward that behavior.)

And yes, easier said than done because although you try not to show it, your stress level is off the charts and your adrenalin pumps at the sound of your child doing this.

(Edit: I just fixed all kinds of typing mistakes on this post. I clearly didn't re-read what I typed)
